This extension of the Shortselling comment period is one of the most DISINGENUOUS, CYNICAL and SELF-SERVING PLOYS I've ever had the displeasure to witness.

Who does the SEC think it's fooling by, yet again, failing to do THE RIGHT THING AND doing it FAST?

I'm sure your prospective employers at Goldman Sachs are tickled pink that you've allowed them yet more time to wreak havoc with the rest of the cabal of shortsellers.

UPTICK NOW REINSTITUTE WHAT WORKED FOR 70 YEARS

GET YOU THUMBS OUT OF YOUR TAILS, PLEASE.
